 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. Two days in a row, now EA has singled in on one sector of the FC24 Ultimate Team market, and player prices are down bad, specifically in this position because of the content that we have had recently. Now the question is, will these player prices continue to drop with maybe some more good content like the Hero Pack? Coming back again today on Sunday, we'll talk about that more in today's video. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's go over yesterday's content on a Saturday where we had an SBC that I don't think too many of us were expecting. Andrea Pirlo released as an upgraded foot centurion's icon player SBC with a dead ball placed out, plus five-star skills, four-star weak foot, medium-medium work rates. He got the 80-pace boost right away when I saw this card, guys. Yesterday, I immediately was reminded of the Pirlo card that I used a ton. Last year in FIFA 23, the team of the year, Pirlo, and I put this tweet out right away because it was what was on my mind. This centurion's Pirlo, if you take a look at the stats, it's kind of crazy to see how similar they are. They're not like, you know, the same card, like 82-pace on the card last year in 80-pace right now, but this is a card that's released in October versus a card that is released in the middle of January during the team of the year. A crazy card for this stage of the game, especially being an icon. Now, he does have, I don't know, some people like the play styles, some people don't like them. He doesn't have Trivella or Phanets. One of the things I loved about his card last year were the Trivella shots that he could do. The five-star skills is dope. The medium-medium work rates do kind of put people off. I don't know, guys. This SBC is actually very, very upvoted. If we take a look on Footbin, I think it's got an 84% upvote, 82% upvote for this Pirlo card that I think is coming in right around 500k, like 480,000 coins, 480k-ish. Maybe it's right around 550k. I think one of the squads in here is not computing. So let's just say around 500k for Pirlo, which if we're going to be honest, if this card was on the market, man, with some of the other card prices that I see, like Gattuso is 88k, of course, that's not a very good card. Koeman's only 172 and Smith, while being good, is 783k. I don't think this Pirlo would be that expensive on the market, guys. I know it's a really cool SBC. I think that's what the factor is here. It's a cool SBC. It was unexpected, and it is definitely usable. Great passing, great dribbling, and a decent playstop, plus. But I think, honestly, this is one that I probably wouldn't do. I mean, this is just a lot of fodder, especially right now, when fodder is hard to come by on the top tier. 87, 88, unless you're a fan of Pirlo, or you want to craft this later on down the line. This might be one that you maybe put on the back burner. Kind of the same reason of Stoichkopf, right? Yeah, it's a great card, but you're going to be able to get a card that is similar to this, maybe even a little bit better in other stats, you know, through Evolutions, right? The big one that was dropped on Friday. Other cards are going to be via SBC, stuff like that. So I think for me it's a pass, but if you're a fan of Pirlo, if you want to craft towards this card, it's not terrible, right? It's only eight squads, which, of course, you've got the bronze and silver in there. So it's not terrible. If you want to try them out, just get the lone version for five games. Give the card a run and see how it performs for you in-game. So that is definitely one of the big SBCs we've had. And yet again, guys, it's another center mid. We'll talk about that in a second. Also yesterday we had another tradable pack, SBC, a Prime Electron Player's Pack. Guys, this one's a must-do. It's really cheap to do. It's pretty easy to do as well. 75 rated, you know, five clubs minimum. It's a Prime Electron Player's Pack. It's a really good pack. So I'm going to favorite that to remind myself to get that done in the next two days because that is a chance at a promo icon or a centurion's card or maybe even some fodder that we might need for a part of today's content. Also yesterday, although it wasn't a crazy day, there were some other things in the store going on as well. We did have, I think this is actually the truth to say, the most expensive, the biggest promo pack in the store. 300,000 coins, I think before what was the most expensive one. 275, anyways, 100 rare gold players and still 15% chance of a centurion's, a 2% chance of an icon for the centurion's promo squad. So 3K FP pack, a big one there in the store. I don't know if you guys were open on that one yesterday. I'm definitely not going to be doing that as we don't open a lot of those packs because we are free to play and right now I'm not spending 300K out of my 2 million, whatever coins I have on a pack like that. I'd rather go other places with it. And speaking of coins, a lot of people have been losing coins unfortunately in some specific areas and that's what I really want to talk about today is EA haven't just like crashed the market. EA have crashed the market in a specific area because two days in a row now, they've dropped insane content that has people selling these cards, center midfielders and going after ones in evolutions like Urentech, how many crystal done or doing the Pirlo SBC which is being well received by a lot of people in this game. Let's take a look at this market crash that is happening guys. This Fede Valverde is just one of the few. Valverde on Friday was 400,000 coins. His card was in packs, nothing like he was out of packs or anything like that. Valverde was 400K. The whole Urentech, the box to box evolutions Evo situation happens. He goes down to 370, right? He goes actually down to 350. Yesterday on Saturday, prices took a dump even more. From 353K all the way down to where he is now at like 305K for one of the best midfielders in the game is crazy. That's a really solid card as well that a lot of people are really not able to afford for their ultimate teams. A 300K midfielder, that's still an expensive card. Oh, let's look at some cheaper options, right? Tonali. We looked at him. I put a tweet out yesterday of some of the big time ice drops that we've seen on these midfielders. Tonali was 55K on Friday. He's literally almost half the price that he was. 55K Friday. Started the day yesterday on Saturday at 37K. And now my guy is 29,000 coins. And guys, it's happening to IKONs as well. I remember selling a Schweinsteiger last week on Thursday for 417,000 coins. He is down 100,000 coins because of that drop. I think LOM as well. You can tell a lot of people are using some of these players. People are not just using LOM at right back or left back because LOM can also play CDM and take a look at his price since Friday. He was 550K. He's now 474K. It looks like, according to the footprint graph, he was just 450 multiple times yesterday. And he just went up a little bit. So center mids across this game are down horrendous. And again, just to make it clear, it is because of multiple different situations, but purely it's the hype around this centurion's box-to-box midfielder that I think is causing a lot of the market crash on this position. The Pirlo yesterday probably causing a little bit as well. But in these last two days, you've had a lot of people that are going out and spending 150K to evolve a midfielder that they have to put in their team, right? Because if you're going to use that evolution and get it upgraded, if you're going to do the Arente, you've got to put that card in your team ASAP and start playing champs games, start playing rivals games with that card so that you can get to upgrading it, right? And that's what a lot of people are doing and it's hurting prices of the rest of the center mid market on the game. Now, are these cards that you want to buy, all these center mids that are just down, down, down? At some point, they're going to bounce back, right? We've seen this before where players in a certain position drop like crazy amounts. Inform Gretzka, like, if there was no center mid market crash this week, I think this Inform Gretzka would be over 200K. Like, it is an Inform Gretzka card, really a solid card. Powershot intercept their bruiser aerial. And it's just a holy gang. Gretzka, right? That's a sick card, but he's only 160,000 coins right now because of the state of the market that we are in. I don't think I would go out and invest in a bunch of center mids right now because I think they would, like, explode in price in the next two, three days. I'm not expecting that. But some of these cards have gotten probably too low for their own good. And during this next week, maybe the week after that, whatever cards link to some of the most hyped and popular cards that people are putting in their teams, like maybe EA drop a Bayern Munich SPC player or something. Gretzka could have a nice rebound back. That's just an example, right? Watch the center mid market, especially the more rare cards, Informs, out-of-packs cards from Trailblazers, Road to the Knockouts if any of those are down, Icons, Heroes, keep a close eye on those because those could potentially rebound a little bit faster because, let's be honest, a lot of the panic selling on the center mids has probably happened this weekend. Now, the rest of the market's not looking too great either. If we take a look at, like, Voron, right? Obviously, he's not a center mid. Center back 60k for Voron. Let's go back to Friday. What was he? 81,000 coins. Dropped off a lot as we saw a sizable market drop-off. We talked about that in last night's video and kind of as I expected yesterday as well, prices had a bit of a rebound. I was able to, some of those cards I showed you in the video, I was able to flip them and then, guess what happened? Just all day long just drop, drop, drop once again from 73k on Voron all the way down to 60,000 coins. Guys, I think we're near a point where some of these cards are going to go back up today, but also today we might have some good content. So, it's going to be a very interesting day today on the market. Now, that's just one card. Let me show you an example of another one. Militao's only 100k. Wow, 108, that's another card. From 130,000 coins he was on Friday, down to 108k. VVD was like 270. It's not just center backs, but those are kind of the cards I'm looking at right now. Erling Holland. I know that some people are selling this card on Friday because he's, we're getting that free version of Holland right in, like, December or something. It's still a month away. He was 190,000 coins, even with Odegaard. His price couldn't withstand the market drop that has happened over these past few days. It's been wild. It's been crazy to see the amount of price drops that have happened. And I've been hurt because of it, too. It's not just, like, I'm losing coins, guys, like myself. I did trade a little bit yesterday. The Kooman I bought at 200. It was a decent flip. I bought this at 50. This is the Pedri that I bought at 270. A couple other out-of-packs flips that I made. I flipped two Mendes over the weekend at a 50k profit each. Sold by Rashford. And then Harry Kane. I got this guy at 359, man, and he's all, he was all the way down at 310 yesterday. He's about 320, 330 right now. So I'm taking the cash on his card. He might be getting an inform this week, which is why his Inform card is dropping a lot right now as well. I do think that his new Inform card will not be as good as the Trailblazers that is obviously the one that I am losing coins on at the moment, but still. I kind of would rather have those coins back because I don't see his card rising up a ton in the next day or two. Maybe a little bit. He's a rare card. He'll be good to flip, but he's down a ton and I'm losing some coins there. So I'm losing coins as well, guys. Some of the road to the knockouts that got upgraded, right? Those cards dropped off yesterday. Modric was down at 330. He's now back up to 350 a little bit. It was just not a really good day on the market to be holding cards, but we saw this same story unfold last week. And remember, guys, what we had on Sunday with squad battle rewards was we ended up having a pretty sizable market rise and some of the lowest prices we saw for the entire week happened between, let's see, this time right now, like early Sunday, late Saturday night timeframe, and also after the content drop that happened on Sunday today. So I think today might actually be a decent time where before squad battle rewards or during squad battle rewards, you might be able to pick up some nice cards for decent prices like this Veran at 62K, you know, that might be a card that goes up to like 65 or 67,000 coins today after squad battle rewards, but then it could drop again after the content drop. So I think there is potential for a bounce back today with SB Rewards. If you want to watch the market, focus on meta-golds, right? Meta-golds, these golds that are up here a lot, Usman will be won, Sun, Griezmann is out of pack, so be careful with him. I'm pretty sure he was 130 though yesterday at 1.131 on Friday, of course, he had the big spike up to 133 yeah, he's been around 130, so like Griezmann could go back up today as a lot of people are using your rentee, they're linking him and their squads so definitely keep an eye on that, maybe a guy like Neymar goes back up a little bit today, I would just say stay away from center mids or be very careful of center mids I just play with other areas of the market if you're trying to trade with any of that and of course it's always slept on man watch your out of pack special cards guys like this Marquinhos is 309 right now? is that for real? 309? or is that just an undercut? I mean that's really low, like that is something that I would be interested in trading today just because Marquinhos has the PSG links to the Ghioro card that is in the team right now okay, that's a snipe, 309 for this Marquinhos, like he's 330 right now or 325, he might go to like 335 today or something like that, right? these out of packs cards are going to be the safest cards to be trading with today watch team of the weeks, watch road to the knockouts man, they're always slept on even because their prices are so inflated like, Joel Pedro was 430 yesterday, he was 430 multiple times I believe once, he was 440 there 430 again there, and right now he's 400k again, that's a card that you can probably trade with confidence right now in this game and if you don't want to mess with anything in packs you can look into that, so I'm going to look up Joel Pedro right now, if he's actually sitting at 4 I'll try to get 400k flat that would be a card that you could be 399 say less, I'm in, so that's a card that is rare, that a lot of people may want to wake up today and use for weekend league and I'll take the risk that he will go back up to at least like 430, how many pages to 430? 1 page? 2 page that's so few cards man, that's a card that I'm going to risk it on today and try to trade with, so watch out for some opportunities like that to trade today, now if you're like Nate that seems too risky to me, I don't want to mess with it, here's what I'll tell you today on Sunday there is rumors, there is expectations for a pack like this to be dropped back in the game the max 87 hero upgrade pack it dropped 2 weeks ago it was the first hero upgrade pack of the year, it made the market drop like crazy after content because everybody went and did this SBC and it was crazy right, it was the first time that we had it now first of all, do I think this is coming today I think there is a high likelihood that it could come, one of the guys on twitter that's been posting leaks is saying that it is coming but honestly guys EA sometimes pulls funny business with the second time they release an upgrade pack like this, they could just release a player SBC today, like Mudrick we're still waiting on, we had a brand new leak for Marta as an SBC her card was leaked before but it's actually coming as an SBC guys, that could be today Mudrick could be today I doubt they do 2 icon SBCs in a row but Mudrick or Marta seems very possible today as well for a player SBC, so so does this SBC to be honest but you never know a lot of people expect this to be today, I'll tell you that much and a lot of people have invested in fodder a lot of people have been investing in 85s and 86s by the way and again like I said yesterday I'm still at a spot where I don't love the fodder investment because of how many people are invested yes this hero pack is hype and yes people would love to do it again if it drops today for the same price let me show you something guys, if you take a look at all the solutions for this hero pack last week when this was like out or 2 weeks ago when it was out I don't see 85s and 86s in these cheapest solutions, one 86 Preho what I see is a lot of 84s and 87s as kind of the cheapest way to do this SBC so if I was going to risk it on any fodder today I would risk it on 87s and I know they're already a little expensive they're already 16, 17K apiece they were 19K on Tuesday so let's take a look up to 19-20K if the SBC is hype you can see a nice spike with those because an 86 rated squad is what this required last time that was the requirements for the hero pack and if EA do it again I think 87s maybe 84s could move a little bit that's kind of where I would look today if you want to risk it on an investment but also I know a lot of people are investing so personally I don't even know if I would do the hero SBC a second time around I got capped to view the first time on my team it would be a fun SBC to do and I actually have some fodder in the club so I would maybe entertain the thought of doing it but again it's just you got to be careful with the SBC on a weekend where a lot of people have been losing coins and player prices have been going down it's also something where I'm like if I lost 50 to 100K this weekend like putting myself in the shoes of probably a lot of people on the game maybe not you right who knows but I would just be careful doing SBCs that would drain even more of my coins out of the club that's the way that I would try to think and also you got to balance that with having fun as well so along with a lot of people investing in SBC fodder guys a lot of people are waiting for that pack to come today the hero pack so that they can go out to the market and do what we just mentioned about buying cards for teams the first time this hero pack was released and actually last week when the icon pack was released for the first time it did cause a sizable dip and a lot of prices on the market dropped down and then they were really really low kind of like the lowest point as everybody was selling cards to go do the new hero SBC or the new icon SBC I think that sort of situation could present itself again today and what to do in that situation would be go buy the meta golds guys I'm talking like this is 15, 20, 30 minutes after the hero pack were to drop today if it were to drop watch for price drops on these meta gold cards like how much of a drop you're like well could Kyle Walker go from like a 90,000 coins I'll say he goes up to 95 today after squad battle rewards and then he goes down to like you know like 87 or something like that would be a drop like lower than what he was in the late night or early morning hours today on Sunday before a squad battle rewards is a price that I would look for on a meta higher highest rated as possible meta card also look at the out of packs like the road to the knockouts I'm gonna say this all the time it's a safer place to be the trailblazers the team of the week cards just safer with these cards because they're not getting supplied they're not getting packed wow Bruno Fernandez is 97k cards are just really not rising well out of packs this year besides road to the knockouts because they're alive noted okay noted remember that trailblazers team too as well did really great Friday right after content did a nice spike Sophia Smith went up Robo went up Kane went up and now they're just in the mud so we're gonna make note of that for the upcoming promos coming in the future although things may be different because they're just so cheap already we'll have to see like a special Pedri for 240k is kind of wild but he's really supplied to so anyways we're getting a little ahead of ourselves here just watch for some price drops today after content if we get the hero pack that might create a good buying opportunity for then our normal Monday market rise that we do often see on Mondays and looks like one of my Harry Kane sold I'm using the other one in a couple games of champs right now so I am not gonna sell but at the moment now the last thing I want to talk about today is a potential mini release I do think we're expecting a few more centurions cards here lock is that Ryerson there's a few that have been leaked that I think we're gonna see today on the game not expecting any icons maybe he is gonna surprise us with one more special icon for centurions that could come out today so watch out for the mini release and last tip I have for the video today is if you're not in the UK watch the clock because today content is gonna be dropped at a different time because the clocks changed in the UK which means that they moved backwards it was time change clocks went back an hour so that means the difference between us and the USA is shorter now so instead of 5 hours from eastern to the UK it's only gonna be 4 because the clocks went back so content is gonna be an hour later in the USA and wherever else you're at in the world maybe just do the adjustment do the math for that but that is gonna change at least for us in the USA I think for a whole week before our clocks go back so that's be a little bit of a change there and sometimes like EA mess up with this stuff so check the normal content drop time and check the hour after that or before depending on where you're whether you're whichever side of the UK you're at because I think the pack timers oh no look at this EA they planned ahead guys look 5 days 15 hours for the premium centurions pack 5 days 14 hours for the elite centurions pack EA was on one man so watch the store today though it might update it might update early because you know EA have not factored in the time change watch content drop normal hours and then also an hour later depending on where you're at as well just to see if EA messed it up today but I wanted to get that out there and honestly guys today for me I'm not gonna be able to be on the game too much I'm gonna be pretty busy so what I have done is I went in on a little bit of an investment and if you stayed at the end of the video I'll give them for you I picked up some Jude Bellingham I picked up just four of them I didn't want to send my whole bank role into Jude Bellingham but Jude Bellingham had an absolute banger of a game yesterday scoring both goals for Real Madrid in an L Classic O2 1 win he of course was up a lot right this card went from 78k all the way to 98,000 coins he was crashing like everything else and he's been down a lot right Friday before you know you know Rente came out he was 116 revolution came out and everybody started Evoing CMs he was 83k up to 86 went down to 78, went up to 100 and is now back down to 87 so I went out and I picked up just a couple of him because I just think that like Griezmann like a couple of his other cards have been out of packs and they've been doing really really well out of packs I think he's a guy that you could probably be pretty safe putting into your club your ultimate team but I honestly again I'll say it I don't think he's going to win I think Griezmann's going to win and basically you're investing for the out of packs portion of this card when next week on a Wednesday or this coming week on Wednesday he should get a team of the week and you're like Nate didn't he just get one he did but it was team of the week 3 and for just this game being an L Classic O the fact that he scored an absolute rocket of a goal his inform is dropping I think his trailblazers will drop a little bit too the investment that I'm making because I think Jude Bellingham can be 100,000 coins come Tuesday before we even know who's going to be in team of the week we could sell on the hype and take the quick profits there but it's just something that I wanted to put my coins into I paid like 85k for him try to get him on snipe today if you want to go in on an investment like that again center mids are down but this could be one of the ones that rebounds up a little bit faster it is risky but he's going out of packs and that has worked really well this year so we'll just have to see but that's going to be the video for me today guys if you did enjoy smash thumbs up on it comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new it's been Nathan with account see you guys in the video tomorrow peace out
